TI 2515/191 - Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans The objective of TI 2515/191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans, is to verify:
- (1) that licensees have adequately implemented the mitigation strategies as described in the licensees Final Integrated Plan (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML15202A415) and the NRCs plant safety evaluation (ADAMS Accession No. ML16008B077);
- (2) that licensees have installed reliable water-level measurement instrumentation in their spent fuel pools (SFPs); and
- (3) that licensees have implemented emergency preparedness enhancements as described in their site-specific submittals and NRC safety assessments, including dose assessment capability, enhancements to ensure that staffing is sufficient, and that communications can be maintained during beyond-design-basis external events.
The team verified that plans for complying with NRC Orders EA-12-049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design Basis External Events, (ADAMS Accession No. ML12054A735) and EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses With Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation, (ADAMS Accession No. ML12056A044) were in place and were being implemented by Entergy. The team also verified that Entergy had implemented staffing and communication plans provided in response to the March 12, 2012, request for information letter and multi-unit dose assessment information provided per COMSECY-13-0010, Schedule and Plans for Tier 2 Order on Emergency Preparedness for Japan Lessons Learned, dated March 27, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML12339A262).
The team discussed the plans and strategies with Entergy personnel, reviewed documentation, completed a tabletop exercise involving a beyond-design-basis event leading to an extended loss of offsite power and, where appropriate, performed plant walk downs to verify that the strategies could be implemented as stated in Entergys submittals and the NRC staff prepared safety evaluation. For most strategies, this included verification that the strategy was feasible, procedures and/or guidance had been developed, training had been provided to plant staff, and required equipment had been identified and staged. Specific details of the teams inspection activities are described in the following sections. Documents reviewed for each section of this report are listed in the Attachment.
1. Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events
a. Inspection Scope
The team examined Entergys established guidelines and implementing procedures for the beyond-design-basis mitigation strategies. The team assessed how the Entergy staff coordinated and documented the interface/transition between existing off-normal and emergency operating procedures at PNPS with the newly developed mitigation strategies. The team selected a number of mitigation strategies and conducted plant walk downs with licensed operators and responsible plant staff to assess: the adequacy and completeness of the procedures; familiarity of operators with the procedure objectives and specific guidance; staging and compatibility of equipment; and the practicality of the operator actions prescribed by the procedures, consistent with the postulated scenarios.
The team verified that a preventive maintenance program had been established for the Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) portable equipment, and that periodic equipment inventories were in place and being conducted. Additionally, the team examined the introductory and planned periodic/refresher training provided to the Operations and PNPS staff most likely to be tasked with implementation of the FLEX mitigation strategies. The team also reviewed the introductory and planned periodic training provided to the Emergency Response Organization personnel.
b. Assessment Based on samples selected for review, the team verified that Entergy satisfactorily implemented appropriate elements of the FLEX strategy as described in the plant specific submittals and the associated safety evaluation. The team determined that Entergy was in compliance with NRC Order EA-12-049.
The team verified that Entergy satisfactorily:
- Developed and issued FLEX Support Guidelines (FSGs) to implement the FLEX strategies for postulated external events;
- Integrated their FSGs into their existing emergency operating procedures and off-normal procedures such that entry into and departure from the FSGs were clear when using existing plant procedures;
- Protected FLEX equipment from site-specific hazards;
- Developed and implemented adequate testing and maintenance of FLEX equipment to ensure their availability and capability;
- Trained their staff to ensure personnel proficiency in the mitigation of beyond-design-basis events; and
- Developed procedures to ensure that the necessary off-site FLEX equipment would be available from off-site locations.
The team verified that observations made during the inspection were entered into Entergy's corrective action program.

3. Staffing and Communication Request for Information
a. Inspection Scope
Through discussions with plant staff, review of documentation, and plant walk downs, the team verified that Entergy had implemented required changes to staffing, communications equipment, and facilities to support an extended loss of all AC power (ELAP) scenario as described in Entergys staffing assessment and the NRC safety evaluation. The team also verified that Entergy had implemented dose assessment (including releases from SFPs) capability using site-specific dose assessment software, as described in Entergys dose assessment submittal.
b. Assessment The team reviewed information provided in Entergys dose assessment submittal and in response to the NRCs March 12, 2012, request for information letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML12053A340), and verified that Entergy satisfactorily implemented enhancements pertaining to Near-Term Task Force Recommendation 9.3, response to a large scale natural emergency event that results in an ELAP and impedes access to the site.
The team verified the following:
- Entergy satisfactorily implemented required staffing changes to support an ELAP scenario;
- Entergy implemented dose assessment capabilities (including releases from SFPs)using PNPSs site-specific dose assessment software and approach.
The team verified that observations identified during the inspection were entered into Entergy's corrective action program.
c. Findings
No findings were identified.
